• Ann Edminster Presenter

  Ann Edminster is a California-based green building consultant with a national practice, laser-focused on decarbonizing homes and communities. Trained as an architect, she facilitates design teams, coaches other building practitioners, works on applied research projects, teaches, develops education programs, writes, and rabble-rouses in the climate space in her spare time. More than a quarter-century ago, she focused her Master’s thesis on embodied carbon (a wee bit ahead of the times), and a dozen years ago wrote the first book on zero energy homes -- somewhat more timely, to be sure, but she’s still waiting for the times to catch up. https://annedminster.com/

09:15 AM - 10:15 AM

The changing landscape of codes and standards for "Net Zero Energy" goals have been shifting both at the international scale and down to our own backyards with local government agencies taking the lead on carbon free buildings.  This session will give you a primer on the latest developments in building energy efficiency standards and the variations of local "reach" code efforts that are impacting the design space.  We'll cover the major changes in Title-24 Part 6 for California, IECC, and touch on ASHRAE 90.1 for commercial buildings.

• Ted M. Tiffany Presenter

  Ted Tiffany has over 20 years experience working in the energy industry. Starting from the commercial construction field, building expertise in energy performance modeling, engineering support, architectural consulting, and policy development he has emerged as one of the leading experts in building decarbonization and grid harmonization in his field. With expertise in complex building design, from houses to hospitals, efficiency engineering, renewable energy systems, microgrid design, he's able to navigate the policy impacts of rate design, grid interaction, and the pathways to ending fossil fuel use in buildings. His prime focus is improving the educational outreach to get electrification and building decarbonization into the mainstream of design, construction, and policy.

• Jack Rusk Presenter

  Jack Rusk is a Climate Strategist with EHDD, an architecture firm with offices in San Francisco and Seattle. He works across projects at the firm to identify and implement climate positive design strategies. Jack also leads development of the Early Phase Integrated Carbon (EPIC) assessment, a web application for planning carbon reductions. Available for free and covering a range of carbon reduction measures, EPIC illustrates the potential for deep decarbonization in every project. In the past few years, he has published or presented research on ecosystem restoration, life cycle impacts of bio-based materials, urban hazard risk, and decarbonization policy’s consequences for health and social equity. Jack is a graduate of the Yale School of the Environment and the Yale School of Architecture and a member of the International Living Future Institute’s Energy+Carbon Technical Advisory Group.

12:55 PM - 01:55 PM

This class aims to educate architects and engineers on the importance of considering the environmental impact of the products they specify in their building designs. It covers topics such as calculating carbon emissions, understanding the manufacturing processes, and documentation supporting reduced embodied carbon. Additionally, it explores various assessment tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental product declarations (EPDs), and material transparency declarations. The class also highlights the benefits of reusing existing buildings and materials versus tear-down and new construction.
